Cabin. Neighborhoods, Outposts & ₡ABIN votes
Cabin built a directory where coliving properties register as Outposts (informal listings) and can be promoted to official 'Neighborhoods' once they meet criteria (≥4 bedrooms, 20mbps) and accumulate 1,000 ₡ABIN votes from the community. The token treasury was distributed when the DAO wound down in 2025, but the directory and the Neighborhood/Outpost framework remain.
Outposts compete for the 1,000-₡ABIN vote threshold to become recognized Neighborhoods. An explicit place-vs-place ranking visible on cabin.city/vote.
Each Outpost/Neighborhood is run as a tight local team (host, coliving residents) who coordinate offerings (events, work trades, shared meals) listed in their directory entry. Pride/identity attached to a single property.
One of the clearest worked examples of a token-voted place-recognition ladder. BelongHub-relevant pattern: an Outpost→Neighborhood progression with a public vote is a copyable game loop.
